Form 5 have been helping me celebrate Rosh Hashanah (Jewish new year). We have been sampling some traditional Rosh Hashanah snacks including delicious apple and honey, which is eaten to celebrate a sweet new year. Some of the children were really excited about this, as they remembered it from Form 4!
